Interests
Today I work on the quantitative analytics team at Onward Energy in Denver, where I took an ISO-NE day-ahead/real-time spread forecasting program from a blank repository to a desk-adopted daily Offer Plan, and where I build and operate the New England market-data platform and Power BI estate behind it. The part I care most about is the engineering around the models: walk-forward backtests, calibrated classifiers, an MLflow registry, data-quality monitors, and gated pipelines where merging to main is the deploy.
That habit of starting every project with clean, well-modeled data comes from the road here: migrating municipal court systems at Journal Technologies, building SSIS and T-SQL pipelines that handled 50 million records per file at MeritDirect, institutional research at the Community College of Aurora while finishing an M.S. in Data Analytics (AI & ML, 4.0 GPA), data-science engineering and an Excellence in Analytics Award at Echo Global Logistics, and research data engineering for the 988 Lifeline at Vibrant Emotional Health.
On the side I build full-stack apps in Vue, Angular, Django, and ASP.NET, and I write about what I learn. I’m always eager to collaborate, share knowledge, and explore how data and software can turn ideas into reality.
Experience
Analyst, Quantitative Analytics
Onward Energy
- Built an end-to-end day-ahead/real-time (DART) spread forecasting and offer-recommendation system for two ISO-NE wind assets, taking it from a blank repo to a desk-adopted daily Offer Plan in eight months
- Deployed per-asset XGBoost direction classifiers with Platt and isotonic calibration and 11,400-hour walk-forward backtests; live 153-day out-of-sample hit rates matched the backtest
- Cut live day-ahead LMP forecast RMSE by more than half across three walk-forward retrains with RandomForest regressors, 34% better than 48-hour persistence on holdout MASE
- Established MLOps on a SQL Server-backed MLflow server (39 experiments, 2,500+ runs), a SQL model registry, gated quarterly retrains, and 1,364 unit tests behind 52 gated production deploys
- Own the .NET Framework 4.8 ISO-NE data importer: 84 SQL Agent jobs, 70 REST endpoints plus eMarket SOAP over mutual TLS, 76 report types into 41 tables at 99.92% success across 124K loads
- Designed a 17-page ISO-NE DART Optimization Power BI dashboard (39-table semantic model, 336 measures) with hybrid tables and gated CI/CD where merging to main is the publish
Data Analyst

- Built analysis-ready datasets for 988 Lifeline researchers through private R packages (dbutils, lldt), cutting manual data preparation 25% and standardizing database access across studies
- Designed threshold-based anonymization that kept sensitive crisis-line data usable for research while cutting privacy risk 30% and collaboration overhead 40%
- Automated reproducible data exchange between GitHub, Files.com, and Google Drive so research datasets moved between systems without manual handoffs
Data Science Engineer
Echo Global Logistics
- Engineered the delivery side of a data science team: RESTful APIs and queue-based processing serving logistics quoting improved quoting accuracy 30% and earned the 2022 Excellence in Analytics Award
- Automated CI/CD for analytics and model code in Azure DevOps with Python and Bash, increasing deployment speed 40% and cutting manual operations 50%
- Partnered with data science, engineering, and operations to harden cloud infrastructure for analytics workloads, improving efficiency and scalability 35%
Data Analyst
Community College of Aurora
- Analyzed student retention in Excel and Cognos to identify at-risk groups and intervention strategies, improving retention 10%, while completing an M.S. in Data Analytics
- Built Tableau dashboards of enrollment trends by zip code that directed targeted marketing, driving 20% enrollment growth in key areas
- Translated analysis into policy and resource-allocation recommendations adopted by leadership, contributing to a 15% increase in total student population
Senior SQL Server Developer
Anteriad (formerly MeritDirect)
- Engineered SSIS and T-SQL pipelines processing up to 50M records per file, the data-quality foundation for marketing analytics and targeting
- Wrote C# components in SSIS to detect and auto-correct file-level errors, cutting error rates 40% and processing time 25%
- Built data-cleaning stored procedures that standardized inbound customer records, raising ETL throughput 30%
Data Conversion Specialist
Journal Technologies
- Led the migration of Fort Worth Municipal Court data from a case-centric to a person-centric model, an entity-resolution style redesign that raised case-management throughput 20%
- Rewrote Java-based conversion APIs as set-based SQL with tSQLt unit tests at Sandy Springs Municipal Court, cutting project runtime by over 80%
- Rescued stalled municipal court migration projects through source-data profiling and validation, delivering seamless data transitions
